Line #15 Funny/MyFairLady


1	* Eliza's trip to the horse races, where she demonstrates that Higgins may have taught her the posture and pronunciation of a lady, but he overlooked details like sentence structure, word choice, and subject matter, carelessly instructing her to stick to "the weather and everybody's health." [[ExactWords She does stick to those subjects]], but not in a ladylike way.
2	** "[[OohMeAccentsSlipping Come on, Dover,]] '''''[[SuddenlyShouting MOVE YER BLOOMIN' ARSE]]!'''''"
3	** [[CoolOldLady Mrs Higgins]]' reaction to seeing her son at Ascot.
4	-->'''Mrs Higgins:''' Henry! What a disagreeable surprise!
5	* The best part of "Get Me to the Church on Time" is at the end, when Mr. Dolittle is carried away as if to a funeral, holding a lily!
6	* "I can tell that she was born -- Hungarian!" Nice theory there ''Mr. Expert''.
7	** [[EntertaininglyWrong "Not only Hungarian, but of]] ''[[EntertaininglyWrong royal]]'' [[EntertaininglyWrong blood! She is a princess!"]]
8	* Eliza's ImagineSpot in which the king of England grants her request for "'Enry 'Iggins' 'ead," and has his guards shoot Henry Higgins at her call. Then the ''real'' Higgins enters at the top of the staircase, causing Eliza to glance awkwardly at him, then at the carpet which she imagined his corpse falling on top of.
9	* "Damn damn damn damn! I've grown accustomed to her face!" Doubles as Heartwarming.
10	* Mrs Higgins' response to having the archbishop and the professor together:
11	--> "Good heavens, no! I shall be excommunicated!"
12	* Higgins' quip that Americans haven't spoken English in years. It's one thing to say that the play was set in 1912--remember that the original Pygmalion version was written at that time as well. If Americans weren't speaking proper English a hundred years ago, what would Higgins say to our speech today?
13	* Pickering talking in Eliza's accent, then mistakenly thinking Higgins was talking to him when he said "Try it again."
14	-->'''Pickering:''' Those strawberry tarts are delicious. 'Ave you troid the ploin cayke?
15	-->'''Higgins:''' ''[looks at him, speaks to Eliza]'' Try it again.
16	-->'''Pickering''': Did you try the...
17	-->'''Higgins:''' PICKERING!
18	* Eliza’s reason for stopping the marble experiment:
19	-->I swallowed one!
20	* Eliza and Mrs. Higgins having tea and casually discussing Higgins' rude behavior, with Higgins sulking like a ten-year-old behind them.
21	-->'''Mrs. Higgins''': Henry, don't grind your teeth.
22	* Higgins' blatant attempt to secure Eliza's cooperation with chocolate (physically putting a piece in her mouth himself, no less)... ''actually works''.
23	-->'''Eliza:''' I wouldn't 'ave et it, only I'm too ladylike to spit it out.
24	* Pickering finds himself in an awkward spot when he calls to report Eliza missing and only acknowledges while he's on the call that it's hard to define why he and Higgins are looking for her;
25	-->What the girl does here is our affair; your affair is to get her back so she can continue doing it!
26	* Higgins' [[StiffUpperLip downplayed bemusement]] at Eliza's loud yelling while the staff forces her to submit to a bath.
27	* When the show ran at the Lincoln Center in New York, at the end of "I’m An Ordinary Man", Higgins starts running around his study rapidly cranking the four phonographs in the room. Mixed with the frantic nature of the song, it’s very amusing.
28	* Eliza's quip during "Without You" that "''somehow'' Keats will survive" without Higgins' help.
